Lower Basin

Project Focus Team

The Lower Basin PFT works on ecological system cleanup and natural resource restoration issues in the Lower Basin from Cataldo to Harrison. They are involved in reviewing available reports and data concerning the Lower Basin to develop a better understanding of the complex and dynamic ecological system in the Lower Basin and to develop sound answers to needs so that a sequence of remedial actions can be recommended. The ecological work described in the ROD for the Lower Basin includes actions for wetlands and lateral lakes, river banks, splay areas and the river bed. The objectives of remediation in the Lower Basin focus on improving wildlife habitat and reducing particulate lead in the Coeur d’Alene River system
